the museum. I need to get the Draconium. I have already photographed the alarm code, but I don't know what to do next.I think I need to lure the mouse to distract the guard, but I don't know how. I tried using the cheese with the mouse hole, but the protagonist says he doesn't want to get too close to it.

If you already have photographed the alarm code what you will have to do is right click on the camera into the inventory to get the code and then you should disable the alarm by the panel which is near the guard. But this is not done yet you will have to do something else!

Cannot get past the receptionist, know that I somehow have to disguiseAll I have is knife, scissors, phone book, cell phone documents, dried coffee, money,brush, hydrogen peroxideHelp would be highly appreciatedThanks in advance !!!

I got the code, but I still can't get rid of the guard nor deactivate the alarm. There's probably an obvious thing I'm missing, but I don't know what. In the inventory, I've got the brochure, water bottle, cheese, rials, and a whole lot of other stuff.

Yes, i have used the draconium and the translated parchment on the water cleaned puzzleHow can I send you a screenshot?

Kind regards

Do you actually know how to take a screenshot in your computer? Just push the button "Stamp Rsist" then open an image editor like paint and paste it over there. Save the image and go to imgur.com then upload the image into the website and it will generate a link.

Hi! So the trick here is that you can create words by combining buttons together. So if you look at "create" here, it looks like two buttons pressed in order. First, press the Middle/Rightmost button (this symbol looks like the start of "Create" right?), then, press the button next to it, to the left (this symbol looks like the second part of "create", right?). Does that make sense? Now you can do the same for "cattle"

Look at the keypad. Look at every button on the keypad. Some of the buttons look similar to others. So when you are looking at the document, you might be clicking a set of buttons that LOOK like they are the best fit, but in reality there is ANOTHER combination that matches the keycode better.

Gahhh...I'm stuck on the Island puzzle. I drew out a "map" on paper of each word (or partial word) that's represented by the symbols. I don't know if I've screwed up royally or what, but I keep trying to no avail. Please tell me if I'm missing something or mis-translated!

Does this remotely look correct (sorry if my "drawing" seems weird or confusing! Hope you are able to see what I'm trying to show you)? I've clicked the poem about a million times and it doesn't work. I'm so frustrated!!

If it is, then:On the bottom right, you have the script that tells you which buttons to click (like the ruins puzzle). The first two significant words in that are "Demon" and "Dwell". If you look on the left, you'll see that "demon" is a pretty long symbol. On the top right (dark green), you'll see that my mouse cursor is hanging over a button that looks like the first part of the word "demon". So, what you would do, is click this button, then click it again (because in Demon it is symbolized twice), then immediately down 1 row and to the right you see the next symbol, this one that looks like the next part of "demon". Click that. Then, you will see immediately under THAT button and to the right, is what looks like the symbol that finishes the "demon" word on the left script. Sorry if that's confusing, let me know if it makes sense!

As for your map, I'm not really sure how to read that. I see Goblet 2x up top left... but you don't have to do any mapping out like that, since you will have 1. the parchment 2. the poem, 3. the buttons, all in front of you on the page

Stuck at the same spot... awesome game btw!

Thanks a lot for your feedback Khris! For now I can give you a little hint:

Hey Shadow, Vincent's post above mine should get you started in the correct order. It's definitely not an easy puzzle. My best advice would be to double check all of your symbols, you are most likely clicking some that you think are the best fit, when really there is another symbol that matches much better. I'm not near my computer but at some point today/tomorrow I will be and I can spell out the whole button sequence for you if you'd like.

I agree. I checked Vincent's start and I definitely got that far correctly. I'm probably missing something or making some incorrect assumption. I usually like solving puzzles on my own but I have done this one 11 times so far and nothing happened so I'll wait for the full solution to see where I went wrong.

Thank you for the PM! I understood everything you were saying previously and HOW the puzzle needed to be solved, but like Shadow I knew something somehow got messed up in translation, and no clue where it could be. I think I spent well over 2 hours trying to figure out where I went wrong. This was a really tough puzzle for me.

I obviously didn't read the brochure as carefully as I thought. In my translation notes I had written down "drink = water + mouth" instead of "MOUTH + WATER". A small oversight that screwed up the whole dang thing!

Anyway, I finally got through it just now and paused to write a quick note on the boards. Now back to the game!

I actually don't know where I went wrong the first 11 times! I made the mistake you described the first time but then double checked and corrected it for the next 10 times. Who knows...

I have exhausted the conversational options with the pharmacist, but when I try to interact with the delivery guy I just get called a pervert.Does it require pixel perfect clicking, or better timing, or both?EDIT: worked first time, once I knew that was what I was supposed to be doing...

shelf for some reason; kinda embarrassing, given how prominent it is However I'm still stuck; I disabled the alarm but cannot take the book. Tried lots of things with the cheese and water, can't leave or call anybody.

The first time I played through I gave the man the phone book before talking to the librarian, and it wouldn't let me talk to him anymore. This time I talked to the librarian first and then gave the man the phonebook and then it worked.

I'm glad it worked eventually. As Vincent already mentioned we tested the game and no one was able to replicate this error.

I've been to the hut in the woods and found the two pieces of paper. There are no new locations and I can't seem to do anything at the locations it allows me to go to, which are home, library, father's office, and the ex-gf's place (Judy?).

I have the items found in the hut but cannot see anything in the cellar. It looks like I need to make a candle, but how do I soften/melt the wax? I don't see anything hot in the game that I could use - there was a radiator in the the reception, but that location is no longer accessible. The game won't let me use the obvious solution of the stove in the kitchen, and Judy and Patricia are no help either.

What should I do once I'm finished at the University. I got Blake's diary, the translated page and the blood and skin samples. Also showed everything to Judy but I can't go to Iran or do something else. What am I missing here?

Hey Dennis, thank you very much for your kind words and thanks a lot that you have spent some time on converting the game for mac, we deeply appreciate it.

The space machine door puzzle. I already triggered the hint which somehow resembled what I was thinking but what about the double symbols where the dot and the bracket are in the same field?In what order do they have to be pressed? I think I tried both ways, but nothing happens.

Hello, currently there isn't a full walkthrough to view but if you are stuck somewhere you can feel free to post a message here. Otherwise you could have a look on YouTube, there are several players which show a full walkthrough of the game but maybe you might see some unwanted spoilers.

I just played Metaphobia (Steam) and loved it, but i have trouble figuring out how to unlock one of the achievements.The achievement is "Have you seen this man..." Is that David Lynch? There is a post in steam forums that talks about it. Im curious if is something related to him or his work or is just a wrong assumption. Anyone have any ideas on how to get it?

Greetings memoria, thank you very much for your kind words and for playing the game. The achievement you mentioned "Have you seen this man?" is David Lynch. I'm glad to hear that you have recognize him. Let's say that the achievement is related to something he said on a video that can be found on the internet and the way how the achievement get unlocked has nothing to do with him. At the moment we can't really tell how to get it, this achievement was intended to be an hidden Easter egg but due to some settings on Steam it was more public than we intended it to be.

So it's possible to get right now? is not bugged? It's ok if you can't tell me how to unlock it, i understand, it's more fun that way. If its not bugged my curiosity is really piqued. I guess i'll start looking in Mr. Lynch's interviews

It's me again. There is thousands of videos about very different topics. I'm sorry to come here beggin, but can you give me a hint?I've been watching hours of videos and conferences and now every time i say something i start to wiggle my fingers.

Greetings! it's such a pleasure to see your dedication to get the achievement, we feel very glad about this. The only hint we could give so far is: "David Lynch is an artist thinking outside the box... Where would you look for him if he was in the game?"

Lynch is ingame character, that shows, wave at you when you do "something" and tell a phrase about "It's a such a sadness that you think you've seen a film on your fucking telephone. Get real!"And i think its happen in main hero room.

I'm stuck on the part where you're supposed to ask for the camera from the conspiracy theorist at the museum. I can't get the option to ask for the camera. I've clicked everything there is to click in the museum, yet I get a "I have nothing else to say to him" message when trying to talk to him.
